Just do it.

I decided after 6 years, it was time to get a new pair of tennis shoes. I had a hard time finding ones I could tolerate (all the shoes right now are so bright with neon colors!) but found some at a beloved DSW. This turned out great, because I had a $10 coupon from there, just for signing up for their rewards program.

I'm not even a pink kind of girl at all, but I like these. I hope they will be as good to me as my last ones!

Quarter of a Century.

Yesterday I turned the big 2-5. I feel so old! Yet I'm still a child at heart.

Thanks to all those that made it special with messages, phone calls, and gifts. I really did appreciate every bit of it.

My good ol' husband made sure that it was going to be a great birthday, and it truly was. The day's festivities included:

-homemade delicious breakfast by Wolfgang

-hair cut(sorry, no head-on shot, I didn't like how the picture turned out. btw my hair isn't that red color, it's just bad lighting and using my camera phone)
I really liked how my hairstylist styled it. Why can't I ever seem to fully re-create what they did?!

-successful shoe shopping (this seems to be a rare occurrence)

-dinner at The Melting Pot with our family friend who recently got married. We hooked them up with a great room at Wolfgang's hotel for their wedding, and in return they wanted to treat us for dinner; oh boy did they ever! The Melting Pot is so SO good! I had heard good things about it, but we had never been there before. Definitely not one of those places you can go to often, but it was fantastic. Maybe someday in the near future, I'll buy a nice fondue pot? We'll see.

Wolfgang had even made me a cake, but we didn't even touch it because we were beyond full from dinner! Needless to say we still have a cake that hasn't been touched, haha. Trying to convince some friends to help us eat it, we hope they buy it.

As you can see I was really spoiled, and I felt very loved. Cheers to a new year!
